Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Portland cement production alone is currently the third largest source of global CO2 anthropogenic emissions. The construction industry at large is the most responsible worldwide for depleting natural resources. Moreover, the built environment is the most energy-intensive sector of the economy. With the advent of climate change threats to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human life, research on sustainable and eco-efficient construction materials has become of paramount importance. This Special Issue seeks robust research studies on carbon-neutral construction materials, building materials with high recycled content, beneficiation of by-products and waste materials in construction, green construction practice, sustainable construction materials with enhanced mechanical, durability, and thermal performance, and related innovative research centered on the sustainability of construction materials. Both experimental and modeling studies will be considered. However, such studies shall clearly identify the novelty and contribution to the state-of-the-art. Redundant studies that report on issues already covered in the open literature will not be considered.
